Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a pallet transport apparatus that can move pallets efficiently, outdoors as well as in indoors. It has a compact structure and can be easily operated and produced economically. Additionally, it allows for a change of direction without requiring significant structural changes. It also ensures permanent reliability and precise movement within a rack system. Overall, the invention is designed to enable automatic and efficient storage of unit loads in a rack installation.

Problems solved by technology

Storage systems of this type are not optimal with regard to the economic use thereof.
This requires a relatively high energy expenditure since, for the change of direction, the weight of the pallet pickup unit, and therefore also the pallet mounted on the pallet pickup unit, has to be raised or lowered.
A complete, variable movement on the plane in the x and z direction is not possible.

Embodiment Construction

[0066]FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate, in highly schematized form, a first exemplary embodiment of a pallet transport apparatus 10 which is used for transporting pallets 12 with storage articles located thereon, specifically within an orthogonal rack system (x-y-z system of coordinates), not illustrated specifically in FIGS. 1 and 2, along travel routes in the x direction (longitudinal direction) and z direction (transverse direction). The longitudinal direction x and the transverse direction z here are components of an orthogonal directional control system within the rack system, wherein transport means (not illustrated specifically), for example elevators, can be used for transporting the pallet articles in the vertical direction y into the respective floors of the rack system.

[0067]The pallet transport apparatus 10 has a chassis 14 on which there is a left and right x traveling mechanism 20.1, 20.2 and a left and right z traveling mechanism 30.1, 30.2, wherein the two left and right tra...

Abstract

A pallet transport apparatus within a rack installation oriented orthogonally with a longitudinal x direction, a transverse z direction and a vertical y direction has a travel route in the x direction and in the z direction. In the apparatus, an x traveling mechanism / x wheel units and a z traveling mechanism / z wheel units are designed so as to be vertically moveable in the y direction mechanically independently of one another. The apparatus has an x lifting device for lifting the x traveling mechanism or of the x wheel units in the y direction, a z lifting device for lifting the z traveling mechanism or of the z wheel units, and a y lifting device for moving the pallet pickup unit. The x / z lifting devices can be activated in the y direction independently of one another and independently of the y lifting device.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 10 2015 001 410.2, filed on Feb. 6, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a pallet transport apparatus for transporting pallets within a rack installation, which is oriented orthogonally with a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a vertical direction, along a travel route with longitudinal transport routes in the x direction and transverse transport routes in the z direction, comprising a chassis with a pallet pickup unit, an x traveling mechanism for moving in the longitudinal direction with drivable left x wheel units and right x wheel units which are arranged laterally on the left and right spaced apart in the x direction, a z traveling mechanism for moving in the transverse direction with drivable, spaced-apart, left z wheel units and right z wheel units which are arranged laterally on the left and right,...
